AMERICAN DENTISTS.
Their Superiority Over the Tooth Thinkers
OF the Old World.

There are no people like the Ameri-
cans for having their mouths kept in
order. No one else is willing to pay
what our people do for their work. con-
sequently they don't get such good
work done.
met an English surgeon yesterday
who said: 81 will admit that there is
one thing you excel us in, and that is
dentistry. Our people have their teeth
extracted when they pain them, but
they haven't the patience to get them
stopped with gold, as you do it over
here, nor will they submit to the enor-
nous expense necessary to gold stop
ping. Why, the housemaids in Amer
lea have enough gold in their mouths
to astonish n Duchess"
A lady from the United States, trav-
cling in England, had occasion to visit
a dental office.
As soon as the man looked in her
mouth he said: "You come from
America"
How do you know?" asked the lady.
why, no one else has gold in their
teeth like this"
Needing some work done, she was
amazed to find that the dentist lacked
some of the most necessary instru-
ments for simple gold filling.
Some English ladies stop their own
teeth with a sort of cement furnished by
the druggist Britishers who have
once had work done here will travel
, three hundred miles to reach an
American dentist, and so great has our
fame in that line become that young
men come to Philadelphia and Ann
Arbor and Cincinnati to learn the art,
and going back, charge immensely and
get a handsome practice.
There is in Paris a doctor from a
small town in Indiana who has amassed
C great fortune by dentistry. and whose
appointments date four or five months
in advance. He can't speak word
of French. and transacts all his busl-
ness through an interpreter. In
dentistry the French show some lack OF
their usual spirit of premiership.
though they do better dental work
than any other foreign people. San

FALL TOP-DRESSING.

tanned From Spring Manuring.


tanned From Spring Msnuring.
believed in the common theory OF
fall top-dressing, but little accidental
experience opened my eyes to the fact
that top-dressing at other seasons is Of
ten far more effective. Between the
road and the fence across the front OF
my house-lot is a strip of land 1-2 by
40 rods which. at much labor, leveled
and set in grass portion in lawn
grasses and the remainder in mOwings.
Across this class of people delight in
asserting their right to travel during
the muddy season, and it is sometimes
a good deal cut up. One season when
the fall of snow was light it was trav-
eled nearly all winter, and in the spring
great ugly ruts were cut the whole
length of it, and the prospect for grass
seemed very poor indeed. When the
road became settled and travel assumed
its normal course, took spike-tooth
harrow and smoothed it down as well
as / could. finishing the job with a
prong hoe. then gave it light dress
, ing with manure from the shed-a good
quality of manure-and reseeded it A
| part of load of manure left over was
also spread, very lightly, over part OF
the plot nearer the fence.
The operation was in every way a
success, and / was beautifully repaid
for the labor and expense. The sea-
son proved dry, and the general grass
crop was much shortened, but where
that little spring dressing was applied
it was full and luxuriant. Of course it
was a very small experiment, but il
was wonderfully suggestive, and 1 de-
termined to follow it up. l have not
wholly abandoned fall or winter dress
ing, but have dressed in spring up to
the time when the grass had got a
good large start The only difficulty
experienced in late spring dressing is
in getting the manure well spread.
When it is carefully and thoroughly
spread, so as to leave no Jumps, the
effect has always been magical in
thickening the bottom growth and Inn
proving the quality as well as increas
ing the quantity of the hay. L believe
1 have in my barn now more than
ton of the finest of hay from the appli
cation of four loads of manure after
the spring work was done this year
have never seen so good results from
fall as from spring dressing, the same
quality and as nearly the same quaint
ty as possible of manure being applied
to adjoining portions of the same field

LOVES ROSE.

do love himf" asked the maiden
With her face all dyed
BY some gentle roseate bushes
Which the lilies could not hide
Idly pulls she there the petals
OF q fuli-blown crimson rose;
And, retaining heart all golden.
To the wind each petal throws.
Soft she whispers, ''Oh, my darling
I do love thee fond and dear;
Sweetheart, every tone is precious,
but live when thou art near.
Will be thine own, my darlingf
Obi dare not be thy bride,
For have stronger passion
Than my love; men call it pride.
sCould he foster my ambition.
Let me rule, a very queen,
Clothe my form in costly raiment-
Deck me with the diamonds sheenf
lam beautiful, they tell me.
And must have royal power;
Love, it can not last forever,
1t is but a rapturous hour.
Yet my love is oh! so gentlei
And the smiles that light his eyes
Make me feel when am near hiE
That dwell in Paradise.
Still yearn for glittering glory,
lam vassal TO my pride;
Yes, love my darling fondsy,
But may not be his bride"
So she plucked the rose half idly,
With the only petal left;
Tossed afar the heart all golden,
And Of flowers stood oereft.
After years she stands woman;
Sweeping robes ofsatin-sheen
Fifty frame the splendid picture
OF this careless, naughty queen
Proudly curve the lips OF carmine
CLOVIS the luster Of the eyes,
Shining dusky as two storm-elouds
That have crossed blue summer skies.
Diamonds fash like brilliant meteors,
Sparkle with their witch-like glow,
Peoples deck the scornful bosom,
And their languor DER her throw.
But oh amid that pomp and splendor.
She would give her life to-day
To live over but that hour
When she threw her rose away.
